Critiques
You've found a quite original species there that isn't photographed much, and you really get the impression he is scoping out a target - even though invertebrates faces are seldom full of expression.
The subject focus is spot on and the colours are very vibrant and complement each other.
It is well composed and I like that you have left a large part of the picture out of focus. The attention is drawn the attention to the spider but the viewer gets a good impression of the overall scene.
Only gripe - I would have hued out the blue out of focus area near the bottom to make it green.
Nice shot!
The incredible detail of even the smallest hairs on the spider is purely amazing.
There is a very low depth of field. However, is highlights the subject of the photo, without obscuring everything else.
The title helps with the impact of the photo as well. As if the little guy is trying to figure out how to get down. The colors are vibrant, the contrast is high, and the photo in all is purely stunning.
But no matter what you say or do... I am still scared of spiders... and I am always going to be an arachnophobic.
